Methods and apparatus for allocating control effector commands to reduce vehicle deviations from a commanded trajectory. An example apparatus includes interface circuitry, machine readable instructions, and programmable circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to receive control force or moment command input associated with an over-actuated vehicle, the over-actuated vehicle including a first actuator and a second actuator, apply a rate or position limit based on actuator capability, and reassign control from the first actuator to the second actuator based on a lagged command position of the first actuator to preserve a control trajectory of the vehicle.
